What To Expect

Kick off your adventure in Leuven at the awe-inspiring Library of Louvain University, the oldest Dutch university. Towering above the square, its magnificent structure tells a story of resilience—rising from the ashes of two libraries destroyed by German troops during both World Wars, it has become a global icon of the enduring power of knowledge.

Next, feast your eyes on the dazzling Neo-Flemish Renaissance Old Post Office House. Its vibrant façade of red Kempen brick, blue limestone, and golden stone bursts from the cityscape, crowned with a towering spire that once doubled as a watchtower keeping an eye on the Great Square’s treasures.
